IDEAL LOCATION

This hotel is a no thrills/frills hotel but is ideally based for someone who does not want to spend too much time in a room. Right next to Broadway which leads to Time Square. Macy's is round the corner for those who like to shop. Empire State Building and Madison Sq Garden is also close by. We were not expecting breakfast but got Tea/Coffee and muffins every morning. Staff were polite and very helpful throught our stay. Hotel rooms are nice and clean with air con.

You do not need to eat in expensive restuarants. NY has plenty of Deli places and also food carts dotted everywhere that serve excellent food for a fraction of a price.

Not your typical hotel

The hotel is in a great location. It's only 4 blocks away from the 4,5,6 Subway. And just 2 or 3 away from the Empire State Building. It was a good base ground for doing all those tourist things in New York, becasue it was right in the middle of it all. But the area was never loud. It was very clean, great maid service, and much bigger than I expected it to be. I stayed with two of my friends in a Junior suite (one queen bed and one single bed) and we were very comfortable. Also, the hotel is old and the lobby is beautiful. It's charming. My only complaint is that some of the staff members were a bit rude to us, but it seems like that's New York for you.

Old World Charm; Modern World Amenities

Walking into the 1907 Rococo style lobby is an enchanting trip back in time! The host was gracious and informative. We had a junior suite, which served our needs well. It allowed one of us to nap in the bedroom while the other read or watched TV on the sofa bed in the small annex. The bedroom was spacious; the bathroom was compact! In fact, anyone severly overweight would not be able to fit between the sink and the wall to face the mirror over the sink. However, that being said, the modern shower was superb! The hot water came on immediately (we were on the 3rd floor) and the water pressure was strong and steady. The morning coffee and generous and tasty rolls were a nice way to start the day, along with complimentary New York Times to read in the lobby. Since we were close to major Avenues, it was relatively easy to hail a taxi.

Chez Josephine has great ambiance (dedicated to Josephine Baker) and the food and service were excellent. (short drive) Chelsea Market has numerous great places for breakfast or lunch and is a fun place to explore and a good starting point for the High Line Park.

Were pleased

Room and facilty were certainly nice enough. We would go back. We did not hang out in our room. So asthetically and functionally the room met our needs. Of course having a refrig in the room could have helped out with keeping food left overs-- but it's absence was not a deal breaker!
